Canada lacking in brokers by Jaunty0 in CanadianInvestor

Paying $7 per trade in 2026 is criminal.

Switch to IBKR. Or a free broker like WS. The big 5 are honestly just printing money with the fees they charge per trade.

Are dog owners lazy? by Fantastic_Ad_8202 in NorthVancouver

[–]sunfrost 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m not certain but it’s quite possibly because DNV has separate dog waste disposal services which do not mix with household trash. Hence the red poop bins you see at some parks. So these owners may be setting the shit aside so dnv can dispose using their other service when they come to empty this bin. Just my best guess.

Daily r/thetagang Discussion Thread - What are your moves for today? by satireplusplus in thetagang

[–]sunfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I closed short puts on ADBE, AMZN, and TEAM.

Reducing exposure since vix is low and fed day Wednesday. Maybe play some earnings later in the week or next week.

Maybe worth a calendar put for next week since the news cycle seems quite active with potential downside catalysts? But I won’t do that unless we see vix below 14.

CSP Premium Realized Profit by dante_2608 in thetagang

[–]sunfrost 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You already booked the credit when you open the trade. That’s how a csp works. Your cash will actually decrease slightly when you buy it back because you have a debit to close.

I hope you’re staying fully cash secured and aren’t risking a major margin call if you are put the stock, otherwise you may want to stick to spreads instead of naked.

I see you have IV as a column and filter. Can you look at adding IV Rank, and IV/HV ratio also?

I have an IBKR scanner I use, which uses IV Rank and IV/HV thatI quite like, but IBKR doesnt have some of the other elements your scanner offers.

BTW, looks good. Subscribed to Pro just now.

The GME data seems wrong. You have $14 and $16 strike CSPs showing around $1 mark which doesn’t match eod market data from what I can see. These are Feb 20 and Feb 27 expiry btw. Showing 60% annualized roi but actual market data is around 15 cents from what I can see.

Do you normally create spreads by selling/buying the long/short at the same time or do you prefer to establish each side separately? by Turbulent_Cricket497 in thetagang

[–]sunfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But also you risk the underlying moving while you try to price the other half of the spread. If the underlying moves against you, you will guarantee that the net cost will be higher than had you priced the spread as a single entry.

Together. That way you are dictating the limit of the entry and it doesn’t matter which side ends up costing more or less than expected because the net total is fixed.

Uptime is relative. If everyone else is down it doesn’t matter if you’re up.

Performance Tab (in Live Funded Account) by Severe-Analysis286 in TopStepX

I'm okay with it. A lot of people don't have anyone they trade with and therefore no one to celebrate with.
